Cherriful Nail Art Tutorial – featuring Essie Blanc and Dior Calypso

Over the weekend, mom bought a huge packet of South African cherries (I didn’t know S.A produces cherries!), and they were big and juicy!

Hence the inspiration was from the sweet cherries.

I recently collected this Essie nail polish in Blanc, and I am quite pleased that it’s opaque and not as streaky as any other white! I have had a few Essie polishes in pastel colors, but I find that they are too sheer and the brush just worsens the application.

However, 2 coats are needed to achieve the full opacity.

For the accent nail, it is the new Dior from Summer Mix collection, the shade is Calypso and it’s a bright red with jelly finish. The application is almost fool-proof with the excellent formula and brush, and it dries pretty fast.

With a dotting tool, pick up some red acrylic paint or polish and make some dots which will resemble cherries.

When it’s dried, use a green polish/acrylic paint and create strokes to look like the stems.

For the accent nail, use the dotting tool again to pick up white polish for the polka dots. I find that it’s easier to work with polishes for polka-dotting rather than the acrylic paint. The polish will dry to a smooth surface while the acrylic paint tends to leave bumps on your nails if it’s too thick.

And cherry nail art against the huge cherries!

On my toes, I have Lagoon from Dior Summer Mix Collection. All it takes is just one layer!

Another picture of my ‘cherry blossom’ on both hands. This is a pretty easy nail art, and as long as you are able to create some dots and lines, you will able to wing this!

Cherry nails are toooooooooo cute!!! This is the best cherries nail art I have came across!
On a side note: cherries are soo yummy! Too bad they come quite expensive and I could only treat myself once in a while. On top of that, they are seasonal! Why~~
